      Sorry if this has been posted but could not find a similar post.

      Trying to set up a cloud hosted(Linode) VPN and use if with pfsense. I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxpX_mubz2A and used this script for install https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install. The video suggested to use port 443 over UDP to have less port blacklist issues

      I have tried to configure the settings in OpenVPN. I have set the TLS certificate in my .ovpn file to the settings. I made the certificates and entered the information and the VPN shows "up status". However it is loosing packets. I cannot access the internet when routing through the VPN connection. Status screen shows an IP addess but service status shows down

      The top of the script is below. IP is different.

      client
      dev tun
      proto udp
      remote 172.xxx.xx.xxx 443
      resolv-retry infinite
      nobind
      persist-key
      persist-tun
      remote-cert-tls server
      auth SHA512
      cipher AES-256-CBC
      ignore-unknown-option block-outside-dns
      block-outside-dns
      verb 3

      I have tried putting items in the custom settings and not and no luck to get to the internet.

      If there is any other log or information I can provide please tell me how to get the information as I am quite new to pfsense and Custom VPN.

      Also .ovpn file works properly in 3 different linux machines

      Thanks in advance
